Morrowind:Skill Books

Throughout Vvardenfell, there are books designed to enhance various skill levels through academic study of them. When you open one of these skill books, you receive a one-point increase in its associated skill. Unlike training, this skill increase occurs without regard to the level of the skill's governing attribute; however, once a particular skill reaches 100 points, skill books don't raise that skill above 100, but you still get a skill increase message, and if the skill raised is in major/minor groups, the raise counts towards leveling up and contributes to the attribute bonus. Note that reading a book does not count as theft even if it happens to belong to somebody. Thus you can read a book (and get your skill bonus) right in front of its owner without being accused of stealing. Unless you click the "Take" button on the bottom, it's not illegal. A skill book can be picked up without reading it by opening your inventory and dragging the book from the game world into your inventory, thus enabling you to save the skill increase for later use when your skill is higher.

A particular book only improves a skill once, when you first read it; repeat readings have no additional effect on your skill level. An exception to this is a few books that exist in both opened and closed varieties. You can read one of each and gain a skill point each time.
